I didn't expect so many people to read my journals, I don't know what to say. Thank you to everyone who has offered support. If people are still reading this, please come to the Shrine of Lagoma tonight. Maybe you don't care for rituals like this, that is okay! Please just care about the people and the city.

Today was a disaster. I've been wanting to learn more since I got to the city, and when I was told somebody would pay for me to learn I should've realized it was too good to be true. They must think I'm a fool, and they're probably right.

Relationship Note on Zhayla
Someone able to have fun, and crack a joke! She looks like she knows her stuff too. I hope someone will pay her to train me, or else I'll never afford it before the scavs get here.

Very nice sellsword who taught me how not to lose every fight I get into. Now I only lose most of them!

Relationship Note on Valery
Friendly, always carried about her little pals. Hangs out an awful lot at the Training Center for someone who has no interest in fighting herself. Hope she gains what she is after from the experience.

Relationship Note on Fortunato
He drew me like one of those Valardin girls. Which is to say in full armor, on patrol.

I met someone even more new to the city than myself today. i left them a book to help them out, but I could tell they're struggling with a lot of challenges. I think I was able to help them. That was a good feeling. I'm hoping, the longer I do this guard thing, the more people I'll really be able to help.

He finally came out of the rectory! Someone told me his name is Fawkuhl. He was accused of pushing someone named Esera off a bridge during something important that I must've missed while on duty. He didn't act like a man who'd been caught red handed though, kept going on and on about his innocence. I don't really know how someone would fool people like that, unless he was really far away? Maybe someone in a disguise?
I heard a story about something like that once, but it was a magic fox. Do they have magic foxes in the city?

We've been guarding the Rectory forever it feels like. People are calm, so that is good and all? But all of us are pretty bored. I offered to send a chocolate bar in to the Rectory for the guy if he'd just come out already. People didn't like that idea.
I'm also told I shouldn't come to the Training Grounds for a few days. The mercies are annoyed with me, said I get hit in the head too much. I told them that is why I had a helmet, they said that was what I told them yesterday. I... I didn't remember talking to them yesterday. I agreed to take some time off from full contact training.

They're everywhere. I've been in the same room as more than half a dozen princes and princesses. One tried to reassure me he liked me by telling me what he'd do if he didn't. I just wanted some cider to drink.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing, someone noble keeps showing up. On patron, fighting in the training grounds, trying to eat my lunch. Nobles, they're all over this city.
I tried asking a friendly half-giant what to do, and he suggested I do what he did. I ended up shouting ladyship at two nobles near the city center, and everyone stared at me. I need better advice.

I'M A GUARD! AN IRON GUARD! I DID IT!
I've already sent a bunch of letters back home with some of my starting pay. They gave me all this armor to wear and it is heavy but I'm determined to be the best iron guard they've ever seen.
Not only that, but I'm working alongside a PRINCESS. I had no idea they could or even would join the guard. I remember all the stories about princes and princesses when I was growing up, they were all such important people with special destinies.
And... And I remember the stories about what happens to a commoner that forgets their place. This is scarier than monsters.

Finally in the city! I've heard stories about Arx but nothing could prepare me for being here. Everything is so big! The people are so fancy! The food is so expensive.
I'm going to be trying out for the guard right away. I'm told I was lucky, they've got a recruitment drive going on. I might not be a trainee for very long. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see how I measure up.
